Which of the following sequence correctly depicts the linear communication model between teacher and students.

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (20-Dec-2018) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Encode > Symbols > Message > Channel

In the context of linear communication models, communication is considered a one-way process from the sender to the receiver. In educational settings, such as between teachers and students, the correct sequence for conveying a message is crucial for effective communication. Let's break down each component of the linear communication model given in the options:

  1. Encode: This is the first step where the sender (teacher) converts ideas or information into a message using symbols, such as words or gestures.
  2. Symbols: The encoded message is transformed into symbols, which might include spoken words, written text, or other non-verbal cues.
  3. Message: This is the actual content or information that the teacher intends to convey to the students.
  4. Channel: The medium through which the message is transmitted. This could be in the form of verbal communication (speaking), digital communication (email, text), or written communication (notes, handouts).

Thus, the sequence "Encode → Symbols → Message → Channel" correctly represents the linear communication model between a teacher and students. The teacher first encodes the lesson into symbols; these symbols form the message that is then delivered through a specific channel to the students.

Conclusion: The correct option is "Encode > Symbols > Message > Channel". This sequence ensures that each step logically follows the previous one in an effective communication pathway.
